The use of ICT on Languages 1

ICT for sustaintable developmennt.

Global development has been unequal, even though the trends in human development are generally positive.
ICTs already empower billions of individuals around the world, and will be of critical importance as the global community meets to charter a new path for sustainable development in the 21st century.

ICT has an increasing role to play. This because during 1995 to 2002 the US had an impressive overall growth…one third of this growth was attributable to ICT.An estimated onethird of the world has never made a phone call and only one tenht have used the internet.Challenges:

Access is a several bottleneck for increased ICT use. But we all know that telecommunication cost are the largest component.Robustness:Telecommunications equipment is designed to have “five 9s” of realiability, 99.999% uptime, or just 5 minutes of downtime per year.Control of internet is everything.Internet Governance is closed linked to what we want the Internet to do.​Some changes may be required to make it more inclusive, reliable, and responsive to users needs. We often use internet just as an working saver and not as a tool.

Economic models, markets and role of ICT 
Market-driven models alone will not push ICT into developing regions.​ Leapfrogging into advanced technologies offers strong potential for cost-effective deployment.​ Developing regions area large but untapped market but, their needs are not neccesarily the same as in developed regions.

ICT provides businesses with avenues that allow them to remain competitive in local and global economies. Typically the ICT components have included email, phones, mobile devices, fax machines, and video communication, yet the list keeps growing with the advancement of technology and the increased availability of disruptive technology in the vast international market.

Factor affecting teachers' use of ITC 

Information and communication technologies can change, simulate, gather, transmit. ​

-Teacher: Should become effective agent to be able to make use of technology in the classroom. ​-Training program: Technology should be used as a tool to support the educational objectives.

Learning environments.

-Teaching as a objetc of study

-And as aspect of a discipline

to:support, subject of study and create new curriculum

Available Support & Computer Attributes

• Teachers did not want to use computers because they were not sure where to turn for help when something went wrong while using computers. Some of this teacher didn't have an computer education.
• Computer acces has often been one of the most important obstacles to technology adoption and integration worldwide.​
• Teachers who had computers were more likely to use them in instruction than teachers who did not; more than 50% of teachers who had computers used them for research and activities related to lesson preparation.
• The lack of funds to obtain the necessary hardware and software is one of te reasons teachers do not use technology in their clases.

Guskey: Summative evaluation: is conducted after the activity. Allows participants to judge the overall merit or worth of the activity and givrs decision makers the information they need to plan for the future.The formative evaluationis conducted during the professional development activity. Provides feedback and changes that can be made to make it more valuable to participating educators.​

Freire: Schools are enslaving schools in search of freedom.
Vigotsky: learn a language through social context.

Bourdieu: school system in people is a process of indoctrination which is the basis of cultural and social reproduction, in this sense, those who do not acquire this training are "excluded" or "discriminated against" because the system imposed a dominant culture, which involves giving up their own culture, in other words undergo a set of rules, values ​​and beliefs that are often aren't similar with their lifestyle .

ICT for Translation and Interpreting: the relevance of new technologies for the training of expert linguists.
The demand for well prepared linguists is increasing in this globalized world.
Production and accessibility
Many of the researchers and teachers exploring the model of situated learning have accepted that the computer can provide an alternative to real-life setting, and that such technology can be used without sacrificing the authentic context which is a critical element of the model.
 Professional skills
wiki-uses: Wikis facilitate targeted coaching and scaffolding. The exercises described are completed by feedback provided by the lecturer (using a different colour for annotations). Specific grammar or language issue can be corrected in detail.
Being a good translator requires a lot of skills and practices but technology is a very useful tool in translation.
Learning experience
The reflexive and critical dimension, which will foster flexibility and an awareness of professional skills in expert linguists, can be further enhanced by ICT, in particular for interpreting. Access to professional booths is limited during the training and after, but graduates need to keep those skills up.
The variety of pedagogical tools provided by these new technologies (ITC) facilitate the production of authentic materials, enabling a valuable situated learning approach.
